On the other hand, I was working in town on Tuesday and had the Maximus trike photographed by a Danish guy, who said he'd never seen anything like it in Denmark. Denmark! I thought they had everything!

Would it mean having to be resident over there?

My wifes Sister lives just outside Amsterdam so we go there quite often.

Its not 100% as above but its very good.

I love the multi story bike park just outside central station.

My brother lived and worked in Holland for thee years and loved it. (I visited him twice and really loved it).

He had a mate there who was a copper, who told him that you can (unofficially, to a certain extent) drink and drive, be stoned whilst driving, even speed or drive through a red light, BUT IF you were to be involved in an accident with a cyclist, you could expect very heavy treatment indeed.

It's all very well to post these pretty pictures, but have you ever tried to find a parking place?

From what I remember of cycling in Copenhagen the split was about 50% sit up and beg and 50% bakerflet

Talking of bike parking and trying to find a space, as a comparison I popped into a B&M store in a retail park this morning. There no bike parking facilities in the car park, there isn't even a lamp post you can use to lock your bike to (as they have bollards on both sides of them to stop cars hitting them!), so I took my bike into the shop planning on leaving it next to the trolley park area. Got turfed out as bikes are not allowed inside.

That is terrible. Why not write to their head office describing the dreadful treatment you have received and suggesting they get some Sheffield Stands erected in order to imrpove their "green" credentials and encourage you to do business with them again?
